In honor of Father’s Day and all the awesome things David does (most recently, kicking butt in the backyard and getting the waterfall up and running!), I thought I would share some of my favorite David moments with the girls. Totally not counting all his dad jokes and weird winky face texts (if you know him, you’ll understand!). Here we go:

Dave and Peyton’s first daddy-daughter dance will always be such a special memory for us all!

A random shot from a vacation at my family’s cottage up north, years before it sold. At the time, I had no idea how special all the photos/videos from up there would be. I loved being able to share it with Dave and the girls!

Adaline’s first night at home! I just love how he is looking at Addy!

Taking Princess Anna our for a walk in the snow!

All the times he took Peyton out fishing, which were probably the most frustrating times for him (shoutout to her attention span!), but these times were the highlight of her summer last year!

Baby London! Fun fact: we have a photo like this for each of the girls!

I just love that he is the kind of guy who doesn’t take himself too seriously, and goes along with whatever Christmas card idea I come up with!

Shoutout to Dave for being a professional baby-wearer!

Adaline just to have a “fussy time” right before bed (read: screamed her head off for the entire 6:00 hour), the only thing that settled her down was sitting, naked, by the waterfall. I love how serene this photo looks, if you don’t know the whole story 😉

After David had a mini health scare last year, he had to wear a hat to stay cool in the sun, Addy wore a hat because she was bald. I love this sweet capture of my capped-cuties!

And for every memorable moment captured, there are hundreds that are not.

After this weekend’s golf tournament, David is looking forward to a relaxing Father’s Day! He and Peyton plan on golfing in the morning (a tradition they started last year), and then out for ice cream with Dave’s dad! Happiest Father’s Day to you, David!

Ah, fall. Arguably the best time of the year, by any common white girl’s standards. It’s definitely my favorite. Cool enough for boots and layers, but not so cold that the air hurts (seriously, winter in Michigan is rough. I live somewhere where the air physically hurts). But I digress. We had a killer summer, and it’s so crazy to look back at photos from late springtime. London was in her cranial helmet, and not mobile yet. Peyton had just turned four.

Our summer was filled with beach days and boat rides. Sand castles and ice cream runs. Fireworks and baby-chasing. Carnivals and mini-vacations. We finished the patio this summer, and completed the waterfall/koi pond. London is now not only crawling, but walking. AND OMG SHE TURNS ONE NEXT WEEK. We found out we are expecting baby girl #3 this summer, which has been one of my highlights. Peyton has grown up SO much, and is so much more self-confident and independent. It’s amazing to watch. And London’s little personality has become more and more apparent. She’s spunky and loves to test limits. She’ll never pass up a snuggle, and is so easy-going (as long as there’s food nearby).

And with that, I cannot wait to see what this fall has in store for our crew! We are planning a trip to the orchard tomorrow. I’ve also been forbidden to bring pumpkins onto the property until October 1 (shoutout to Dave), so a trip to the pumpkin patch is coming up, too! London was so tiny last fall, so I am excited to make new memories with her before #3 steals her baby-thunder!
